Notes

Studio recording, 1983; Jake E. Lee used his custom Charvel with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a DiMarzio SDS-1 in the neck. Amp was a Marshall JCM800 2203. Effects included Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive, Ibanez SF10 Swell Flanger, and MXR Carbon Copy Delay. No evidence of chorus or wah. Pickup selector likely set to bridge for solo. No evidence of effects loop use in studio.

Difficulty

The solo is technically demanding due to its fast tempo, intricate picking patterns, wide intervallic leaps, and the need for precise phrasing to match the swirling modulation and delay effects.
